Cartographer

This project is abandoned and its default file will likely not work with the most recent version of World of Warcraft. Whether this project is out of date or its author has marked it as abandoned, this project is no longer maintained.

CARTOGRAPHER HAS NOT BEEN UPDATED FOR 3.3!!!

DO NOT CREATE BUG REPORTS SAYING IT IS BROKEN!

There are no plans to do any major bug fixes for Cartographer (v2 or v3). If there is an update it will only be a minor fix. (It has already been this way since at least 2008.) Cartographer(v2) uses an outdated framework that will not be updated in the case of major breakages so Cartographer(v2) would require a complete rewrite. Neither of the two main developers (Ckknight and Arrowmaster) have the time nor desire to do this currently. Occasionally a new version might be released to include fixes made by other developers or new versions of embedded libraries.

Cartographer is a modular, lightweight, and efficient framework for manipulation of the world map. It is based on Rock and other libraries of the WoWAce community.

Battlegrounds : allows viewing of battlegrounds outside of the zone.
Coordinates : adds coordinates to the bottom of the world map of the player and the cursor.
Foglight : Shows unexplored areas on the map. replacement for MozzFullWorldMap or Unexplorer. Much more efficient, though.
Group Colors : turns all your party's and your raid's POIs into circles colored based on class, and shows a number on them based on their raid group.
Instance Maps : shows maps of instances.
Instance Notes : adds boss notes and such to instance maps.
Look 'n' Feel : allows you to change the transparency, position, and scale of the world map.
Notes : lets you put notes on the map, similar to MapNotes.
Zone Info : on hovering over a zone, it will show the levels of the zone, the instances in the zone, their levels, and the group size the instance is made for (e.g. 5-man, 40-man).

I hate to say it but I agree with what Aerensiniac is saying.
Cartographer v3 is just not a mod I like or want to use, Cartographer v3 used to always seem to interfer or break other mods. Anyone know if it still does not play nice with other mods?

I love Cartographer v2 and have used it for such a long time, god it will be sad and terrible to not have it anymore but I guess all good things must come to an end. :(

To all the people who worked on Cartographer v2 thank you for such an awesome and helpful mod.

Howdy mmolitor87,
I agree in part. Keep it at WoWAce, but take it off curse. The point that I was making is that there appear to be three authors and evidently one manager. Perhaps wowace needs to update that info.
In the past I have edited the .toc file on various addons to get them to work (or just to get rid of the out of date message - Too untidy) , but there are time all that does is hose everything. I am not even gonna try that here, I may with Fishing Buddy, if no update is out soon. I just don't know how badly 3.3 has impacted addon programing. I do try to donate and have utmost respect for all the authors.

The thing is P3 is a dated add-on and is only kept on curse for legacy reasons. The author has since coded and urges users to use P4. Which is Ace3. The same can be done here with Cartographer. Instead of trying to maintain both. C2 should be kept for legacy reasons until it can no longer be used. And further development should be made on a Ace3 based Cartographer.

Arrowmaster,
So I guess that there is an official "person" who is The - Person - Who - Is - In - Charge a.k.a. The - Power - That - Be who we can really believe? And if so, can the PTB make a decision to announce a search for a new developer/author?
Also, I agree with MaximusRex, kill all DL links and for sure get it removed from Curse.
Ifen it is really dead, Kill it, Kill it dead. Or perhaps ask Bliz to take it over, it is a heck of a lot better than what they currently have.

I'm not 100% sure or anything, but if he's listed as an author and he says the addon is dead then I'm pretty sure it's D-E-A-D. Also, if you look in the changelog history the only updates in the past have been TOC updates to quiet all the people who don't know how to check the "Load out of date addons." box. There doesn't appear to be a significant code change in quite some time. Meaning that Cartographer 2 has been dead in development, and not that the map has changed in such a manner as to prevent any QUICK fixes, it's really DEAD. D-E-A-D

I 100% believe this addon should remain available for download. If someone wishes they can continue it if they get permission, OR the code can always be referenced for further use later or integration into another mod. Even if it's broken, it's still valuable information.

But what do I know? :)

You are correct. A lot of those updates were also just to get a new version of LibRock embedded into the zip because PitBull3 was still supported and using LibRock.

LibRock has a major bug that breaks it completely if an older version of the library is loaded first and then a newer version of the library is loaded.

There was an update on Cart 3 days ago (http://www.wowace.com/addons/cartographer/) so I dont know about it being dead. The only issue I have right now is its incompatible, with the new Blizz quest tracking intergrated with the map (things dont scale right) and quest info is no longer working. Now I H8 the blizz map, so ill probable try to grab another quest tracking program for now

According to this thread at wowace: http://forums.wowace.com/showthread.php?t=15653, One of the addon authors has stated that this addon is officially dead. They're only going to work on cart 3, so you'll need to find a new mod for 3.3 in the mean time.

In all truth until ckknight makes a note themselves both Cart2 and Cart3 are dead. Regardless whatever Arrowmaster states in that thread.
